This movie is extremely underrated because people judge it as a Marvel movie, so they expect a lot of action and they are disappointed when they see that for most of the movie, Thor doesn't even have his powers.

Many people dislike this movie because of the lack of action but it has the best character development out of all the other Marvel movies that focus on a character. No other Marvel character has evolved as a person in one movie as much as Thor has in this movie.

[spoiler] At the beginning of the movie, Thor has a really big ego since he is only interested in action, fame and glory, and he would rather kill people than save people so at this point, he is not really a true superhero, just a warrior who wants to fight.
The reason why Odin takes away Thor's powers is because that is the only way for him to become more humble and to grow into the responsible adult that his father wants him to be.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] And of course, many people would say that Thor shouldn't be this way to begin with but they forget that his father was the king of Asgard, so he was raised in similar conditions as the rich kids of our world, and those kids tend to let it go to their head and they start to think like they are better than everyone else. And I am not relying on something that I read, but my own experiences to claim such things because I spent 4 years around rich kids in middle school. [/spoiler]

[spoiler] It was only when Thor lost his powers and became as weak as a human that he realized his vulnerabilities and that is when he became more humble and less focused on his ego.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] Another thing that I love about that movie is that at the end, you can see that Thor has evolved so much as a person that he can be viewed as a hero when he stops Loki from destroying Jotunheim completely. But the thing is that Loki is doing the exact same thing that the former Thor from the beginning of the movie would have been willing to do. The main difference between Thor and Loki is that Thor is the only one between the two who grows as a character because he is the only one who is punished by Odin. [/spoiler]

[spoiler] This movie shows that it is not the costume and the hammer that makes Thor a superhero, but it is what he does with those things. In the beginning, he was a selfish warrior, and in the end, he became a selfless hero who was willing to sacrifice his own life for the safety of other people even though he knew that without his powers, he wouldn't be able to win. [/spoiler]

[spoiler] What is interesting when looking at the Disney+ Loki series (which came out 10 years after this movie) is that when Loki is punished by the TVA, he also learns a lesson and grows as a hero just like Thor did in this movie. [/spoiler]
